When I was a kid my dream job was to become a train engineer on the Burlington Northern. I amassed dozens of train books and hundreds of magazines to learn everything there was to learn about trains and locomotives. All sorts of twists and turns happened in life and now I'm a veteran and retired intelligence officer, jaded with extra salt. Seeing this video was like living a happy childhood dream again.

@@mozeki Disheartening. I grew up with a love of steam Choo Choos starting about age 3. (twice I snuck away and waited for the evening train in the middle of the tracks. I got enuf of a schutching the 2nd time I didnt do it again. LOL) When things went south in 58, I joined the Navy and was on Guam while most of the collapse took place. My last train ride from San Francisco to Willard Ohio was Jan 59, 30 days leave from ET school before going to my duty station. Pulled by Diesels. I get a "steam fix" now and then from Utube vids. I followed Big Boy 4014 all over the country during the Golden Spike centennial days. Amtrak is a poor replacement for the rails of yesterday. I visited a Yard Master down in Erwin Tn in 2003. The facilities were disheartening to say the least. It looked more like the junkyards of rusted cars you used to pass on the way out of town on "The Limited". I have a memory that few ever experienced tho. Back in 1955, returning from a H.S. band trip I got to ride nearly 60 miles during the nite on the observation car platform with one of the club car stewards. Watching the signal lights, switch lights, and the stars. Smelling the smoke from the engine - or - was it the stewards cigar? LOL. No it was coal smoke, no question.

With only a skeletal long-distance, passenger train network in the U.S., engineers and crews on freight trains get a treat to see this side of America. I always called it, "the backroads of America." Any of the cab ride vids you watch is pretty incredible. Some trains travel through bleak scenery, especially old clips from the mid/late 70s, with the industry struggling and some urban areas in decline, but others are a model railroader's bucolic dream. Great scenery here, good narration, and I could see why kids would like it.

Very informative! I'm a long time railfan and advocate, and thoroughly appreciate these videos. I'm also a retired 43 year OTR trucker and I have a real problem with "noise ordinances" which are enforced at the expense of safety. Truckers have the same type situation with engine brakes. We can be going down a curvy road with a 12% grade heavily loaded into a city or village which doesn't allow the use of engine brakes. I guess it's all about safety until it annoys someone and then it's an an egregious malfeasance!

I hired out @ Proviso and retired from Proviso 1970-2011 and have seen many changes over the years. They were taken over by the UP in '95, although they were rumored to do so ever since I started in '70. Watching this brought back memories. I wonder what it's like now, after the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse. Must've had a terrible loss of business and I wonder how it has affected the job situation there. It was tremendously busy during the '70s and '80s, with a slowdown mid '80s, although we made more $ due to having to work 12 hrs/day after they took most of the night shift off, so there was a 4hour gap till the day shift came on, and certain afternoon jobs worked 12 hrs.

Romans 10:9-10 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. JOHN 3:18 “He that believeth in Him is not condemned; but He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

As a kid we used to occasionally see guys riding on the undercarriage of a boxcar. There is an example in the Lee Marvin movie "Emperor of the North" but this was in the '50s before that movie was made. Those guys would smile at us going by probably because we must've been pointing them out to our friends who upon seeing that were just standing there with their mouths open in awe. I haven't seen that for real since but I don't hang around railroad tracks all day long without anything better to do either.

Hi, thank you for this very interesting trip with explanations on railway signaling as well as safe train driving. I really liked the explanation about the dead man's pedal! in France, at the SNCF we have almost the same control system which is called the v.a.c.m.a, (we also call it dead man's watch) which means: automatic standby with support control . it can be used either with the feet (there are 2 pedals one or the other) or with the hand on the traction/braking manipulator. the delay is 30 seconds in hold and if beyond this time nothing is done by the engineer, an alarm sounds and the brakes are applied automatically and stop the train. on the other hand, if the engineer releases the pedal or the hand lever, the delay is 10 seconds and there is the same procedure for alerting and stopping the train. the landscapes around the Mississippi River are very beautiful and it makes you want to come and visit your magnificent country. I have been a bus driver and wattman (tram driver) throughout my working career. I am passionate about railways and model railways. thank you again for this video. see you soon maybe...

While I'm not a kid anymore (55 almost 56) now. I LOVE THIS A LOT! I had a small ride on a lead "KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN" locomotive back when I was just 13 while they were switching out feed cars. I sold my "GRIT NEWSPAPERS" (Probably out of business today) To everybody who worked on the train. And as soon as they're job there was done they would drop me off at the same place where I knew where to catch them at, and they're long gone. A lot things there have greatly changed since then: (1) The POULTRY PLANT there was "LANES" then, But TYSON bought them out in the mid 1980's, (2) The SYLOS, The sidetrack for the FEED CARS was all tore shortly afterwards, So no trains stop there anymore. (3) And of all of those then that I use to sell papers to are most likely DEAD Today (OLD AGE if nothing else because they were In they're 50's then, 42 years ago).

I’ve watched a lot of cabin ride alongs, but mostly from Europe, and in those videos, it’s just a film, and not someone talking in the background. So this is new for me, great video.

I have alot of love for trains since I was little I've always wanted to witness the freight train ride since there is a train track next to my dad's business in st Paul. I'm now going out of town to Chicago on the amtrak on May 25th through May 30th which I'm looking forward to enjoy the train ride. Please make more of these train videos there really relaxing and has me witness the train ride. Best regards Nikita.K

Amazing video, congratulations. I'm a machinist here in Brazil, or as they call it there, a train engineer. Here our main locomotives are GE/Wabtec AC44i, same locomotive from the video with few changes. Company I work for MRS Logistica SA tmb uses GE C30-7 and C36-7 a lot. Again congratulations on the video.

The train's bell is nice but I much prefer the whistle. I saw three different cabooses parked at sidings along the way. This video was fun and educational. Thanks a lot!

Awesome video!!! Love the view and how you can hear those engines. I have loved trains since I was 6 years old and an engineer stopped in our little town and let my brother, Dad, and myself in the engine! We got to blow the horn and it moved the train just a little bit! Rail fan for life! He even gave us 50 cent pieces . Will never forget it! Thank you for giving us so much information. I didn’t know lot of train regulations, etc . I will definitely let my 2 year old granddaughter watch this video! She loves trains 🚂 already!!!
